Job description

Restore Movement. Build Strength. Thrive for Life.

At Connect & Beyond Physical Therapy, we believe physical therapy should do more than help people recover from pain or injury. We are growing intentionally and looking for a physical therapist who values clinical reasoning, meaningful patient relationships, and high-quality hands‑on care integrated into long‑term movement health.

This role may be especially appealing to a clinician who enjoys combining orthopedic physical therapy, skilled manual therapy, and movement‑based care within a highly personalized practice environment.

We’re building something dynamic, thoughtful, and deeply relationship‑centered — and we’re looking for the right clinician to grow with us.

The Opportunity

We are especially excited to meet a clinician who enjoys both orthopedic physical therapy and skilled manual therapy.

• Values manual therapy as part of comprehensive patient care
• Enjoys building meaningful therapeutic relationships
• Appreciates combining hands‑on care with movement and exercise
• Is interested in supporting long‑term movement health and resilience
• Wants to help people move beyond injury recovery toward lifelong health and activity

What This Role May Include

• Orthopedic and post‑operative care
• Manual therapy and hands‑on treatment approaches
• Supporting wellness and movement‑based offerings on the "Beyond" side of the practice
• Helping patients transition from rehabilitation into long‑term movement health
• Helping develop programming that supports resilience, longevity, and active living

Additional strengths that may align well with this role include:

• Experience or certification in Yoga or Pilates
• Interest in strength and conditioning principles
• Wellness or longevity‑focused programming
• Group movement or community‑based wellness initiatives

We believe clinicians do their best work when they are trusted and supported, so this role is intentionally flexible, collaborative, and designed to evolve around the strengths of the right person.

Who You Might Be

• Have strong orthopedic clinical skills and reasoning
• Are an experienced manual therapist who values hands‑on patient care
• Appreciate combining manual therapy with progressive movement and exercise
• Care deeply about helping people build long‑term movement capacity
• Value meaningful patient relationships and continuity of care
• Appreciate autonomy and thoughtful practice environments
• Are curious, growth‑oriented, and excited to continue evolving as a clinician

We anticipate candidates for this role to have 5+ years of experience, though alignment with our philosophy matters more than a specific number.

Our Practice Philosophy

At Connect & Beyond, physical therapy supports more than recovery from injury.

Our work focuses on helping people:

• Build strength. Move well. Thrive for life.

We care deeply about proactive care, progressive strength training, and helping patients develop the capacity to stay active and engaged in life.

What You’ll Find Here

• A thoughtful, relationship‑centered practice environment
• Autonomy and professional trust
• Integration of strength training into everyday care
• Opportunities to initiate and shape programs and services
• A culture of curiosity, collaboration, and growth without shame
